Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue aims to delve into metabolic responses of organisms to environmental challenges, exploring underlying cellular mechanisms and protective strategies. Understanding how organisms adapt to environmental stress at cellular level is crucial for developing new therapeutic approaches, improving environmental quality, and safeguarding ecosystems.
As the impacts of environmental pollutants, chemicals, and climate change on organisms become increasingly evident, understanding how organisms adjust metabolic pathways, activate antioxidant defense systems, and alter gene expression profiles is crucial. Furthermore, studying the utilization of natural compounds, nutrients, and other protective strategies by organisms can provide important insights for the development of novel environmental protection technologies and biomedical applications.
This special issue welcomes original research papers, reviews, and short communications on the following topics, but not limited to:
- The impact of environmental pollutants on cellular metabolism
- The effects of heavy metals and toxins on cellular function and corresponding mechanisms
- The regulation of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense systems
- The role of inflammation in environmental stress
- The effects of environmental pressure on mitochondrial function and energy metabolism
- The role of natural compounds and protective strategies in mitigating environmental stress

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
